St. Innocent, Seven Springs Vyd., Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley 2006

Light red.

Suave oak spice/toast, red cherry, and slow-roasted meat aromas.

Round and slightly sweet textural impression, with acidity driving fine tannin onto the front teeth. Nice red fruit throughout, with nothing out of place. Could use a few years in the bottle.

Very tasty, and will get better.
